I'm not sure what the go is with Gram's place - a friend of mine went there
and said it seemed "a little weird" and has since refused to elaborate - I
could ask her again - I have heard that the place is promoted as being
"gay-safe and friendly" and is modelled on Amsterdam-style holiday resorts.
I'm not trying to suggest any kind of anti-gay bias at all - there's a
website for it somewhere if you wanted to check it out for yourself - i
think it's linked to Larry Klug's Gram homepage.
